Bitcoin is currently banned in Russia, Iceland, Bangladesh, Bolivia, China, Ecuador, and some other countries which I can't recall of. And no, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies do not fall under money laundering as long as you are paying taxes at the time of the transaction. It is considered money laundering only when you are trying to elude the taxes.

Bitcoin or different digital forms of money are not considered as tax evasion since you need to pay charges at the season of the exchange. It is considered illegal tax avoidance just on the off chance that you are irritating to sidestep paying expenses to the experts.
